It had enough space for multiple people, enough equipment for all of us.

Hampton Inn & Suites

Hotel: Hampton Inn & Suites 
Address: 5702 Challenger Parkway, Fort Wayne, Indiana 46818, USA
 
Time of visit: October 2021
 
Equipment
Dumbbells go up to 50 lbs/22 kgs which is acceptable. However, one of the 40 lbs/18 kgs dumbbells is missing and one of the 30 lbs/13 kgs is broken resulting in the head falling off while in use.
The space is very tight and difficult to work within. I was trying to do flys on the bench and bumped into the bike and cross-trainer.
 
Cardio equipment includes a stationary bike, a cross-trainer and two treadmills.
 
They also have medicine balls, a Bosu ball (although flat) and foam rollers.

Does the hotel gym offer complementary water? Yes.
 
Comments
It’s a fully equipped hotel gym, but it’s terribly located in the hotel. I would expect a Ritz Carlton to have a view of the ocean, but this looks at the side wall of a building!
 
Of course, while in Miami, there’s a wonderful running path just outside the hotel, so the need for a treadmill is reserved for a rainy day. If you’re into bodybuilding, there’s a lot of weights to choose from.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Not sure – I’m always about the view, so I chose not to work out in the hotel gym and go outside and enjoy the fresh air.
